Have a IHN Account?

The professional network for healthcare.

Connect with clinicians, institutions and suppliers across the world share what you know, find your next role, and source what your practice needs. Free for healthcare professionals.

Who it’s for

Built for everyone healthcare depends on

Healthcare Professionals

Doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and trainees. Build a profile that shows your specialisation and qualifications, follow the people working on what you work on, and hear about roles before they reach the job boards. Free to join.

Hospitals & Institutions

Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs and academic centres. Post roles and track applicants, run a club for your department or your alumni, and reach qualified professionals directly rather than through an agency.

Suppliers & Vendors

Equipment, consumables, services and technology. Respond to live requests from buyers, list what you supply, and send quotations in the same thread as the conversation. A nominal annual joining fee applies.

Only on IHN

Three things a general network can’t do for you

A general professional network can tell you a cardiologist exists. It can’t put you in a room with forty of them, tell you which one is in the building, or get your MRI scanner quoted by Friday.

Clubs

Rooms for the people who actually understand the problem.

Start one for your department, your specialty, your alumni year or your conference committee. Public so anyone can find it — or private, so only the people you invite see a word of it. This is where the conversations too specific for a public feed actually happen.

People near me

Find the colleague standing forty metres away.

You’re at a congress with three thousand delegates and no idea which of them share your subspecialty. Switch on visibility and see which members are close by, right now. It stays off unless you turn it on, and one tap turns it off again.

Marketplace

Post what you need. Let the quotes come to you.

An MRI scanner, a locum agency, two hundred infusion pumps. Post the request once and suppliers respond with quotations you compare side by side, in one thread — instead of five email chains and a spreadsheet. No general network will source your equipment for you.

And the essentials

Everything else you’d expect — built for healthcare

Your professional profile

Specialisation, qualifications, organisation, experience and education — in the language your field uses. You choose who sees what.

Feed and blogs

Post a quick thought, or publish something longer when a paragraph won’t do. Everyone reading it works in healthcare.

Messages

One to one with your connections. Supplier and quotation threads sit in a separate inbox, so clinical talk never gets buried under sales.

Jobs

Location, contract, on-site or remote, salary, closing date — the detail that decides whether you apply. Posted by the people hiring.

Why a healthcare-only network

One network. One subject.

Everything on IHN is healthcare. Every club, every job, every listing, every person in your feed. Nothing here comes from an industry you don’t work in.

It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a feed you scroll past and a feed you read.

Built for one industry

Profiles carry specialisation, qualifications and organisation — so you can see who someone is before you reply.

Yours to control

Choose who sees your profile, your posts, who can message you and who can see your connections.

One place, not five

Your network, your reading, the jobs, the clubs and the people you buy from — behind one login rather than five browser tabs.

Our purpose

Why IHN exists

Our vision

A healthcare world where no professional has to solve a problem alone.

Wherever you practise, the knowledge you need already exists somewhere — in another hospital, another specialty, another country. Our work is to shorten the distance to it.

Our mission

To bring healthcare professionals, institutions and suppliers into one network built for healthcare alone.

So knowledge travels faster, opportunities reach the right people, and what a practice needs is a conversation rather than a search. We build for the working day, not the highlight reel — the case you are puzzling over, the role you are ready for, the equipment you need quoted by Friday.

Getting started

Three steps, about two minutes

Create your account

Your name, your role and how to reach you. Two minutes, and no payment details.

Fill in your profile

Specialisation, qualifications and where you work. This is what helps the right people find you.

Start connecting

Find colleagues in your specialty, join a club or two, and see who is nearby. The rest follows.

Questions people ask

Yes — free to join and free to use, for healthcare professionals and institutions alike. Suppliers and vendors pay a nominal annual joining fee, because they are here to sell and the rest of the network is not.

Whoever you decide. Profile visibility, post visibility, who can message you and who can see your connections are four separate settings you control from your profile at any time.

Yes. IHN is open to allied health professionals, trainees, researchers, administrators and institutions across every sector of healthcare.

Doctors, nurses and allied health professionals; hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs and academic centres; and the suppliers who serve them — across specialties and across countries.

You’re one connection away.

From the answer you need, the role you want, or the supplier who can quote by Friday.
